With the presidential election being so close and policies so polarized, we surveyed six students at the Downtown Campus, with this question: What impact do you think the results of the presidential election will have on you?

Rebecca Jaime, a General Business student said, “Whoever gets elected will affect me either way. Both sides will affect my financial aid as far as if I have to pay back more or less.”

Sebastian Kelly, a Music Occupations student said, “If Obama wins we are still going to struggle. If Romney wins we are going to slavery including poor white people.”

Michael Kneepkens, a Barber Cosmetology student, said, “Obama’s for financial aid, Romney’s against it. So, to keep Obama in office will be a plus for me.”

Ashley Williams, a Music Occupations student said, “I’m already working hard to fulfill my dreams. If Romney wins, I will have to work extremely hard, harder than I ever had to.”

Brittany Conigliaro, a Registered Nursing student said, “With Obama, he’s sending everyone to school, so jobs in the healthcare field may be hard to get.”

Matthew Klante, a Sign Language Tech student, said, “Obama is keeping me in school for free, while Romney sounds like he’s going to shake the tree.”
